I love this thread. We have a bunch of mostly like-minded people trying to out-huckleberry one another and laying out our own sets of bona fides as to what qualifies one to be "one of us" in the us vs them battle. In doing so we are alienating those who would be "one of us" so that we can create an "us vs them, and them, and them, and them". It's a mindset people. I know plenty of "country boys" who have taken jobs and careers in non-country places and their mindsets and behaviors are such that, believe me, they are still country boys. However, I should call them up and tell them to GF themselves because of their choice of jobs and where they now live. That'll show'em. Interesting and for the most part I agree...... the problem arises when city people move to the country not the other way around. Where's the superintendent of the apartment building when my hot water stops????

Tinman is long arming it....... Thanks for my morning laugh Mr Conrad! Hope that corn comes up. I stuck some seeds in one of the beds the other day , hoping frost holds off for 75 days or so. I don't think it will.

Speaking of 20 inch trout (besides my trouser trout)...a 20 inch golden trout still eludes me, much like that magical 200" typical net mule deer does. I am giving it another shot this weekend. Maybe this will finally be my lucky break. Here's a 15 inch golden at 11,000 feet last Saturday. I do love that high country. No drama queens are invited. That is simply awesome Tinman........ My run of the mill westslope cutt.... in fall spawning colors.... oops forgot B.H. thinks posting pic's is stupid.... oh well Not quite up to Sal's 20" standard..... I have a question. Do you cart a camera or phone with you everywhere you go ? I've hunted and fished with a lot of different people out here and never recall anyone bringing a camera along, including me. In more recent years I've had hunting partners take pics in the field with their phones {cuz lord knows you can't go anywhere without one of those these days} but years back the only game/fish pics that ever got taken were back at home/camp. Generally yes. Both my phone and a small digital camera. On long trips to the backcountry I generally leave my phone behind.

I've killed a lot of game and caught a lot of fish that went back in the water or into the freezer without having a picture taken. A lot. I do take pics back at home sometimes if I think of it before cleaning/butchering, particularly if it's something worthy of memory, like the 32" 12 lb walleye I caught in 1995.

Those of us from back in the age of film can recall when taking pictures was an event that required time, money and effort. So NOT taking pictures was common. Now it seems like we take pictures every time we turn around.

Have several albums full of pics of my kids and dogs too. I don't often carry my phone on me either.

No I think you're a lazy, goof off clown boy and a huge useless ass hole
You don't mean that. I sincerely do. And you left out LIAR. GFY. Because I believe you do believe that I'm a liar. But not those other things. You were just trying to be mean.

It’s pretty common for DeFlave and others to try and shame people here for stuff they don’t have, which shaming is obviously flagrant idiocy.
Vagrancy too implies no means of support.
I have been fortunate, when my Dad got disabled in my youth and five of us were living in a rented two-bedroom house dependent on my mom’s modest income, accepting public assistance wasn’t even considered. Frankly, considering we had just left Working-class England of the 60’s we thought we was living high on the hog 🙂 Heck, for us just being in AMERICA was a luxury. That house being where I lived until I left for good at 18.
Likewise in my youth, the times I qualified for unemployment I was too proud to take it (a luxury afforded to those with no dependents I know).
OK, I get that for the past 30+ years I have been on the public teat teaching in a place where many will not but......
I have never defaulted on any debt and I can’t recall over the decades the last time I have even been late paying.
Anyways, I’m living like I’m living for the benefit of family, like most of us I’d guess. Other than the taxpayers I suppose I have never taken a free dime from anyone who weren’t family and so far I’m a burden to no one.
The Government just did give me $1,200 I know which I am assured they will get back in taxes, makes me uneasy but I did spend half of it on a firearm, looks like the rest of it is gonna go towards shipping puppies, driving em to NY myself is looking increasingly problematic.
Birdfugker, Do your students happen to suffer from an exceptionally high suicide rate? If so, I think I know the cause.

I love a Tennessee accent on a woman 😎

Now it seems like we take pictures every time we turn around. Even back in the 60s a guy could snap some pictures real quick with a handheld camera. Albeit not a phone or modern pocket camera, but still certainly doable. I'll easily spend 1/2 hour taking pictures of a deer or elk I killed, from various angles. I don't see it as a lot of work. I see it as something I'd regret not doing in X years. I quite often don't take pictures of single birds or common fish, but golden trout require a guy to sweat and often spend hours casting for. They're absolutely photo worthy, in my mind.
